Qianxue · Relations

Qianxue is one of the senior maids of the Yihong court in Dream of the Red Chamber. In chapter 8 the maple-dew tea angers Jia Baoyu, and he drives her out. Extant manuscripts do not mention her again. A commentary says the draft after chapter 80 still had her visit Baoyu in the prison-god temple, and the Guiyou text's chapter 95 has her die saving him.
